Why Fiction Matters Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 33 makes the case for why we need fiction. Why we need tokusatsu, maybe. Why we need Henshin Heroes. Why we […]
Watch Analysis Zero Is Not Baku’s Father Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 32 frustrated me. Not because it was bad. Not because it lacked action or reveals or emotional weight. Actually, this episode has huge revelations in it. But I think the story may be trying to push me toward a conclusion that I fundamentally reject. […]
Watch Analysis The Big Reveal Should Matter… But Does It? Zero being deeply connected to Baku is a big deal on paper. It is chilling. It is haunting. It adds tension. But Zeztz has started running into a problem. Everything is connected to everything else. And it is getting a little ridiculous. The Web of […]
Watch Analysis Kamen Rider Zeztz 30 Proves Toku Fans Are Easy At least, this toku fan is. I had all these issues with Catastrom. I wanted to have this deeper conversation about power. What it means to wield power responsibly. What it means to act morally and nobly. That is what I was talking about […]
Watch Analysis Is Catastrom Actually a Problem? Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 29 is trying to sell me on the idea that Catastrom is dangerous. It is not doing a good job. Episode 28 already had Sieg criticizing Catastrom and warning that it is a bad path. Episode 29 doubles down on that. Sieg mocks Baku […]
Watch Analysis Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 28 Sieg Is the Most Dangerous Type of Villain Not just because he is powerful, but because of what he is. He is a fallen hero who knows the truth about Code, and he is willing to seize power for his own reasons. We do not fully understand those […]
Watch Analysis Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 27: Sieg Makes a Great Show Even Better Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 27 proves something interesting. A show that is already great can still get even better. The arrival of Kamen Rider Dawn, the growing presence of the Nightmare Rider, and especially the introduction of Sieg are pushing the […]
Watch Analysis Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 26 Is the Best Recap Episode in Tokusatsu Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 26 might be the best recap episode in Kamen Rider history. Honestly, it might be the best recap episode in all henshin hero tokusatsu. That sounds like a big claim, but I think the episode earns it. […]

Watch Analysis Don’t Make My Dream Come True I just finished watching Episode 25 of Zeztz, and I can’t believe how good it is. A lot of people are looking at this episode as a kind of New Game Plus. I get that. But the thing that hit me the hardest was not just the […]
Watch Analysis The Real Tragedy of Episode 24 Baku’s apparent death is not the most important thing that happens in Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 24. The most important moment is much smaller. Baku sees an injured man lying on the floor. Whether he was a civilian or a CODE employee, the man is dying. Baku […]
Watch Analysis Gavan Infinity Episode 1 shows promise. I think it is a very promising start. The best thing about it is definitely Reiji. He is a charismatic character. He has a lot of draw to him, both in his emotional performance and in the action. He is really a compelling character. He is really […]
Watch Analysis This is the right way to do a toy commercial. Even though I do not like the number of forms, and I still have issues with how some of them have been implemented, Episode 23 of Kamen Rider Zeztz proves something very important. When the story matters, the toy works. Zeztz just introduced […]

Watch Analysis Episode 22 of Kamen Rider Zeztz proves that Yuya Takahashi has us all duped. He’s got the characters duped.He’s got the viewers duped. And it’s interesting and frustrating at the same time. Case22: Revenge delivers the debut of Zeztz Catastrom, the deaths of Kureha (Six) and Five, and one of the most explosive […]
Watch Analysis My Running List of 2026 Reads I want to talk about Silver Buster, written by Jordan Allen, who also goes by @MightySkrow. With the crowdfunding campaign for Silver Buster Volume 2 coming up, and with Volume 3 already in progress, this felt like the right time to finally sit down and talk about […]
Watch Analysis So, episode 21 of Zeztz sure sucks. I mean, it is great. Of course it is great. But it sucks because the bad guys are winning, and it is a big deal. Not only are the Nightmares winning, but they are winning in pretty much the worst way possible. They are manipulating children […]

Watch Analysis Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 20 is a good escalation episode for the series. Not in a loud way. Not in a fireworks way. But in a necessary, structural way that pushes the trajectory of the story forward. This is still very much a holding pattern episode when it comes to Baku and Nem. […]
Watch Analysis Kamen Rider Zeztz episode 19 does something really interesting, almost an artful dodge. It allows Baku to admit something that a lot of shows would either avoid or try to justify away. CODE is not wonderful. There are problems with it. Real problems. And Baku knows that. When Nox asks him why he […]
Watch Analysis Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 18 isn’t the best episode of the series so far.But it is the episode that proves Yuya Takahashi is one of the best Kamen Rider writers the franchise has ever had. And the reason is simple: he keeps coming back. That alone is proof. Another proof is that this […]
Watch Analysis There is a teaching that says in order to prove you’ve changed, you have to find yourself in the same situation, faced with the same choice, and then choose differently. That’s not exactly what’s happening in Zeztz right now. But the way Baku and Nox Odaka are being contrasted feels adjacent to that […]
Watch Analysis If you are feeling conflicted about everything that happened in Episode 16 of Kamen Rider Zeztz, I do not blame you. I think that is exactly where the writers wanted us. And honestly, that is where I am too. There is a lot to be conflicted about in this episode. There is a […]

Watch Analysis In a previous reflection, I talked about why people watch Kamen Rider.The transformation. The mask. The spectacle. But that isn’t why people stay. You watch Kamen Rider because it transforms.You love Kamen Rider because it endures. Across every era, beneath the resets and reinventions, there are internal constants that never go away. Transformation […]
Watch Analysis Why Green With Evil Changed Power Rangers Forever I was not trying to watch Power Rangers. My kids asked if they could put something on while I worked. I opened Prime, and Green With Evil was sitting there like a little movie. So I hit play and went back to work. But it […]
Watch Analysis Zeztz Episode 15 Review: Defiance and the Making of a True Rider Episode 15 of Zeztz is the moment Baku finally clicks for me. I have waffled on him for a while. Early on, he felt a little too goofy, a little too much like a loser protagonist without enough grounding. Then it […]

Watch Analysis Kamen Rider resets every year.New suits. New tones. New worlds. And yet, it is still instantly recognizable. So why do people watch Kamen Rider? If you strip away the stories and emotions, there are a handful of external elements that never change. These are the visible, structural constants that pull people in and […]
Watch Analysis Kamen Rider Zeztz Episode 14 Review – Is Baku Going Bad? Are they quietly turning Nox into the sympathetic figure and Baku into the danger? Because if you look at how Episode 14 is framed, Nox feels like the one being hunted, and Baku feels like the one imposing his will. I liked […]

VIDEO Every henshin hero story carries a ritual. Whether it’s a shout, a gesture, a pose, or the press of a button, that moment of transformation is more than a mechanical trigger. It’s a declaration of self. Across decades of shows and manga, from Ultraman and Kamen Rider to Power Rangers and Guyver, these transformations […]

Why is this secret identity thing being brought up? Is it just a bit or gag is the show actually about identity?
Avataro Sentai Donbrothers 10 The Rainbow the Oni Saw - May 08, 2022 Writer: Toshiki Inoue Director: Ryuta Tasaki
Everything has a cost. That is an inescapable truth. What is the cost of being a hero? What is the cost of not being a hero? Can you bear to pay that cost? Haruka struggles with this and so do you.
Avataro Sentai Donbrothers 09 Busted Tarou and Robotaro - May 01, 2022 Writer: Toshiki Inoue Director: Ryuta Tasaki
Why is there a cost to Tarou's power? Why does Tarou have these rules? Who set them for him and the rest of the Donbrothers? Is Sonoi's power or the Beastial part of the cost of Tarou's power?

In Gorenger Shogaku Gonensei Directive 4: The Lying Robot, Secret Squadron Gorenger cracks a case involving greed and jealousy without even putting on their spiffy suits.
Do the Gorenger need to transform every time?
In Gorenger Shogaku Gonensei Directive 3, Mirror Mask lures Secret Squadron Gorenger towards certain death by his devastating laser with Tsuyoshi, Akaranger, serving as the bait!
Is Akarenger OK?
A Tokusatsu Cinematic Universe?
My thoughts on the snippets of information we have on Shin Japan Herowa Universe
What do you think about this news? Do you want to see these characters interact? Is Godzilla a hero?
Gorenger Shogaku Gonensei Directive 2: Sees the Gorenger leap into action to save a scientist and his granddaughter from a plot to exploit his genius engineering skills for their malicious mission.
Does fighting taint a pure heart?
Gorenger Shogaku Gonensei Directive 1: Rally Under the Gorenger Flag is an alternate telling of Gorenger. Was this story too fast-paced?
A reading of the article: The Early Life of Shotaro Ishinomori.
Learn about the life of Shotaro Ishinomori and how his past shaped his stories that influenced tokusatsu as a genre.
Can Ignis steal the power Ultraman from Kengo? Does he just need the Sparklence? Would you like to see that happen?
It's implied that Yuna isn't entirely human being Yuzare, does that mean Kengo is more than human? What could come of that?
Was this just an ad for the Kingdom Come thing following the events of The Absolute Conspiracy?
Do these inconsistencies I am pointing out bother you? Do the details or message matter more?
If Kengo is some sort of Ultra-offspring will that make him too much of a chosen one type character?
Is GAF right to not want to rely on Ultraman, some alien who just showed up from out of nowhere?
Are the Dynazenon 5 henshin heroes? They have a combining robot and they fight giant monsters. But they don't have costumes. Are they just mecha pilots, like in Gundam?
If power attracts power then how do the weak ever defend themselves from the strong who wish to harm them or others?

Did you like Ace's cameo? How do you feel about these old-timers coming in and wrecking kaiju? Do they steal the show from Z?
Was Haruki's moral conundrum with Kemur heoric? Have we seen enough of him being uncertain like this?
Is it possible to reach someone who doesn't want to be reached? Is it possible to be unable to reach yourself?
Can evil simply be defined as lack of principles? If there are no standards to restrain your actions will that lead you to harm others?
Can evil simply be defined as lack of principles? If there are no standards to restrain your actions will that lead you to harm others?
Is there someone behind the Kaiju Eugenicists? Do they feel like a real threat? Are they actually villainous?
What do you think of Yuka telling Z to kill Horboros? Does her loving kaiju and yet helping to kill them work for you?
If kaiju are born from people, have hearts, and can be good or evil, what makes them so different from people? Why is it ok to just kill them at some point?

What are the moral implications of Haruki attacking Cerebro to get the Belial Medal? Is there any evil in that action? How can it be justified? Is it too dark a move for such a hero?
Koyomi and Knight both helped people because they felt it was moral to do it, not because they really wanted to. How much do intentions really matter? Ultimately they acted rightly even if it was not for exactly the right reasons. Is that good or bad?
Did adult Haruki meeting Mr. Natsukawa help inspire his dad to sacrifice himself to help inspire little Haruki?
Will Yomogi abandon Gauma? Did you notice some buildings got trashed this time and no one seemed to care? What gives? Is that a problem for you?
If Z lacks the kindness and compassion Haruki has, is that a problem? Is this show more about Z learning from Haruki than Haruki learning from Z?
If kaiju are born from people's desire to break free from their bonds, then the world doesn't need Dynazenon does it? It simply needs people to be truly free and happy. What is the threshold for a kaiju being created measured in time, intensity or something else?
Was Grigio Raiden crying or was Haruki just imagining that? Does it matter? Can Haruki be the hero if he can't kill anymore kaiju? How does this change the show?
Do the Kaiju Eugenicists feels like alternate versions of the Dynazenon Four? Gauma's analog is obvious. Juuga feels like an older version of Yomogi. The other two could be forced to match up with Koyomi and Minami if I really tried, but I need to see more.
Is humanity ill-suited to employ violence and deal death as a first response to a kaiju attack? How will this effect Haruki going forward? I hope it will be profound. Did Z learn anything from this?
Does this count as an Ultra show if the heroes are getting into a transforming robot to fight kaiju? Does Minami feel like Akane-2.0 to anyone? What does "Scarred Souls Shine like Stars" mean? Besides being a cool way to force "SSSS" onto this show.
Is Bako right that humanity's greed knows no bounds? Is Yuka right that people will adapt and thrive even if they aren't ready for the new technology they have at hand?

What do you think about the first glimpses we have of Kamen Rider Black Sun and Shin Kamen Rider? The logo for Black Sun has my wheels spinning and I have some thoughts on the look of that Rider 1.
Is there a kaiju lurking in all of us? If so, does that give us the right to destroy the kaiju of others' once they have been made manifest? Should we instead be more compassionate towards those rampaging kaiju?
Do the form changes and power ups in Ultraman Z take away from your enjoyment of the action? Do they diminish the stakes? I might be nearing that point.

Is Haruki getting too much help? Does he stand on his own enough to be the hero? He and Yoko have a heroic job, but is that enough? She stands on her own more than him, given that she has no Ultra power and she gets less help than he does. What do you think?
Are kaiju pure evil? Are kaiju really created by humans. If so, is it through ignorance or malice?
Is Ultraman Z putting too much focus on characters other than Haruki? Is that a problem? Wait! Look how cool this sunset fight is! And all those fused kaiju!

This episode was sensational, but I struggled to find a moral, lesson or the deeper meaning I see in most tokusatsu. It was a thrilling ride though, so I'll be back for more!
Did anyone else lose their mind seeing Geed in action? I've barely seen him before, but that was a real spectacle! Why hasn't Z told Haruki much about the Devil Splinters? But really what IS Juggler after? I find his nuance deep and growing. I like that a lot.
If humans can become machines and machines can become human, then what makes a person a person? What is the anatomy of the soul, of justice? How can justice mean different things to different people? Is the heart of justice the destruction of evil or is it something else?
Yoko faces the fierce and frosty Peguila. Haruki has the Z Riser stolen and cloned. Hebikura makes an interesting turn. With the ancient Z Lance Arrow, Haruki and Z barely survive an encounter with the composite monster Zeppandon! What is Hebikura up to? What is Juggler after?
Does the fact that Haruki and Yoko work for storage and get paid to protect people diminish their heroism? What is Hebikura up to? What is Juggler after? Where is the Scavenger?
Henshin Inspection Presents: Kissing Concrete. Follow me through an episode by episode analysis of Concrete Revolutio from legendary tokusatsu writer Shō Aikawa and Studio BONES.
SAA-2 Windom was completed but to Yuka's dismay, massive revamp in its internal structure caused the machine to extend its charging period for four days while STORAGE has trouble with handling Telesdon. Using a piece of Neronga's horn, Yuka circumvent its charging period, allowing Yoko to support Ultraman Z. The Celebro-possessed Kaburagi tested his Monster Medal by imbuing Telesdon with Jirahs' powers, but this did not stop the Ultraman/robot pair from defeating it.
Grosse Augen was clearly an Ultraman analog. It turns out the design work that went into him is really neat as it digs into the original concept for Ultraman.
Haruki and Z meet up with a kaiju too tough for them to handle. Luckily Yoko has an Ultraman Metal that allows them to become the mighty Ultraman Z Beta Smash!
In Sevenger, Haruki was defeated by Neronga's constant use of invisibility. When the STORAGE crews anticipated its attack on a power plant, Z rescued Yoko/Sevenger from Neronga, and managed to defeat it through Haruki's prior training with Hebikura

Why do I care? Why are Henshin Heroes important to me? Why are Henshin Heroes important?
In order to dive into analyzing Henshin Heroes I first need to define my terms. Who does and doesn't qualify as a Henshin Hero? What does it mean to be a Henshin Hero?
Kamen Rider hooked me about 11 years ago and I have been enjoying Tokusatsu ever since. It's influenced my writing, character designs, how I think about stories and more.
